Re: Possible super pinstripes

thats my point, pinstripe, congo, and daddy gene are claimed to be truly dominant.
daddy gene is undeniably dominant, unless you want to call ralph davis a liar.
the first congo imported was homozygous, unless you want to call vin russo a liar.
the pinstripe was proven by statistics, unless you want to call bhb a liar.
not like other unproven "dominant" morphs such as spider and a host of others, which have an unknown homozygous form. I dont get where people claim a super form doesn't exist, it really makes no sense. proven and existing are different things. its not about using correct terms, its separating what is dominant from what is unknown

You don't bred a pos super back to a sibling to prove a dominant trait out, you bred it to things without the gene to see if it continues to throw all of that gene. Or you can get lucky and have it lay on the same locus as another gene and bred two those combos together, leaving a 25% chance of proving out the super. such as the case with the daddy gene.
spends all that time and effort in proving out a snake to end up with an animal that looks exactly the same as the het form, not much money in it, looks sell, so no there's not going to be tens of thousands, unless the market changes.
